Biological function summary
The IgE protein functions as a mediator in allergic reactions. It does not operate as part of a complex but directly interacts with allergens and the IgE-specific receptors on immune cells. IgE's role is important in defense against parasitic infections where it performs a protective function by promoting eosinophil activation and degranulation. This action helps the body to expel the parasites. In the absence of parasitic infection IgE's function translates into its role in allergic responses where it becomes responsible for the symptoms associated with allergic diseases.
Pathways
IgE is an important player in the immune response pathway. The protein interacts with allergy-related pathways such as the T helper 2 (Th2) pathway. IgE's role in this pathway involves cooperation with cytokines notably IL-4 and IL-13 which are produced by Th2 cells and promote IgE synthesis in B cells. Also IgE is linked to the FcεRI receptor signaling pathway that initiates the release of histamines and other mediators when IgE binds to an allergen leading to an allergic response.
